Emerson Sponsors Lab at The University of Texas to Build Record-Seeking Rocket
FLORHAM PARK, NJ—Emerson is donating regulators to students in the Texas Rocket Engineering Laboratory (TREL) at The University of Texas for use in its Halycon bipropellant liquid propulsion rocket, hoping to set a new height record. The students have a launch goal that’s 338,000 feet higher than the current record for this type of rocket.
More than 300 TREL engineers and aerospace pioneers have worked on the project since rough sketches began two years ago. The Halcyon rocket is scheduled to launch in 2022.
